Hi,

I think the guides I bought came from a spin-rod. YSG 25, 16, 10, 8, LSG 8, 8, 8, T8. The frame is a little bit like the IC or the titanium, but not quite equal. Also the frame is more shiny then matt like the normal gunsmoke. The insert is SiC, all frames are branded. Confusing ...

The Forcelite series I think use chrome finished Alconite guides, not SiC.
